exit() system call verses process signals
Hello and thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer me
I've been reading up on process signal calls (sighup, sigint, sigkill & sigterm) and I understand they all have different methods of terminating a running process. From what I've also read is a exit() actually terminates a process.
I'm curious to understand the process Linux goes about to terminating a process with exit() after a process signal has been issued. I've searched google but haven't seen anything that steps thru this. Could someone give me a quick & dirty explanation of this?
Much thanks!
